Cannot upload a file using autoit in selenium python IE 11

Question

i'm having problem trying to upload in IE 11 with autoit

This is the python code that i used:

filePath = "file_to_upload.txt"
autoit.control_focus("Choose File to Upload","Edit1")
autoit.control_set_text("Choose File to Upload","","Edit1",filePath)
autoit.control_click("Choose File to Upload","","Button1")
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="fileUpload"]').send_keys(filePath)

when i run my python script, i got this issue:

File "C:\Users\gc54734\Desktop\Automation\Python\importar_ok_DFT.py", line 61, in autoit.control_focus("Choose File to Upload","Edit1") File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\autoit\autoit.py", line 84, in wrapper raise AutoItError(err_msg) autoit.autoit.AutoItError: Window/Control could not be found

i'm trying this too, without success (file upload windows is opened, but the file is no chosen):

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="fileUpload"]').send_keys(filePath)

autoit.win_activate("Choose File to Upload")
autoit.control_set_text("Choose File to Upload","","Edit1",filePath)
autoit.control_click("Choose File to Upload","","Button1")

Could you get me an extra hand with this?

It has been 8 months, but I had similar problem. Solution is to add 5 second sleep between clicking on button and looking for open window.
